the code version of this is worse. an agent written PR looks exactly like one the author read carefully. only test I've found is to ask about one specific hunk, "why this and not X". you get a real answer =in ten seconds or you don't.

I feel this too. It's not only that it's not your code it's that you miss it in your fingers. And I don't feel familiar with the code. I'm not sure I would have written it that way. Something feels off. Before, I knew every line, everything that was happening in the code. Now it feels like I'm not doing anything. I'm just telling it what to do, and I'm not sure it's mine.
